pansexualities
All-gender attraction identities
Pansexualities is the plural of pansexuality—sexual attraction that extends to people regardless of their gender or gender identity.
Where bisexuality traditionally implies attraction to both men and women, pansexuality emphasizes attraction across the entire gender spectrum, including nonbinary and transgender individuals.
Research on pansexualities and other emerging sexual identities has expanded significantly.
